Five other sales venues earned chart
honors and they made them count as they each placed a name in the
Top Ten. GoDaddy
Auctions banked $37,505 with #3 IPS.com. SnapNames
was right behind, taking the #4 spot with HomeOwnersInsurance.net
at $32,000 and HuntingMoon.com
rounded out the first five with #5 BoyTube.com at $18,000.
The AfternicDLS
and MissDomains.com
also reached the top half of the leader board. Afternic did it with
#7 ClinicalWaste.com at $15,000 while MissDomain made
their mark with an $11,156 sale of #10 M4.se (a Swedish
ccTLD).
Sedo put two more country code domains on the
elite list; #9 Neue.de ($12,400) and #13 Hausbau.eu
($10,540). The non .com gTLDs had two representatives on
the chart - the aforementioned HomeOwnersInsurance.com (the fourth
highest sale of the year to
date in this category) as well as #15 Patent.info,
sold at Sedo for $10,292. The .coms dominated again,
piling up 16 of the 21 chart entries.

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.
|
For
the many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research before
you buy anything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

Country Codes
A trio of five-figure sales led this week's Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.
You saw all of those in the all extension section at the top of this
report. The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #4 Gesund.tv
at €8,000 ($9,920). Sedo sold that domain and went on
to sweep 21 of the 22 chart positions (the extra spots resulted from
a four-way tie for the final position).
Germany's .de extension was represented by
six charted domains, more than any other extension, with three of
those reaching the top ten including #5 USATravel.de at $5,580.
Here is how all of the
